That’s a very good point.
And I agree with you in general.
That being said…
1. It doesn’t really answer why (one of) the biggest increases in BlueSky user growth happened when X was banned in Brazil (not sure wtf explain that tbh 😂).
2. I still don’t think “censorship resistance” is an appealing enough narrative to create a meaningful enough network effect. That doesn’t mean censorship resistance shouldn’t be “baked into” Nostr as a standard (IMO that’s SUPER important), but I don’t think it’s going to appeal to a lot of people outside of whoever is mostly already here & gets it.
I think we need to Trojan horse it into larger audiences via other means.
Or who knows - maybe we shouldn’t even talk about it at all?
I’m not sure what the exact solution is. Still experimenting

The Brazil ban coincided with the peak USA campaign season, so it could be that.
